What Goes Around Comes Around

 




Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga



Never think you will get away with anything in this life. The fact that you are enjoying your ill-gotten gains is only a temporary reprieve, a delay before facing the consequences.


The Universal Principle of Reciprocity


Every action, thought, and decision sets into motion a chain of events that will ultimately return to you. This is the universal principle of reciprocity, where the energy you put out into the world is reflected back to you.


Consequences Are Inevitable


Whether it’s instant karma or a delayed reaction, consequences are inevitable. You may try to hide, deny, or escape, but ultimately, the universe will balance the scales.


Time Is Not On Your Side


The temporary enjoyment of ill-gotten gains is just a delay before facing the consequences. Time is not on your side; it’s working against you, slowly but surely, to bring balance and justice.


The Power of Personal Responsibility


Take ownership of your actions, decisions, and choices. Recognize that you are responsible for your life, and the consequences that come with it. By acknowledging and accepting your role, you can begin to make amends, learn from your mistakes, and grow as a person.


Living with Integrity


Make choices that align with your values, principles, and morals. Live with integrity, honesty, and transparency. This is the key to avoiding the negative consequences of your actions and cultivating a life of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

In loving memory of Mrs. Josephine Machuma (Nee Matongo)

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga   Mrs. Machuma played a pivotal role in shaping my Christian values and that of many during her time as a Sunday School teacher at St. Stephen United Methodist Church in the early 80s. Her catechism teachings strengthened my faith in the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and her picturesque illustrations of God’s omnipotence and omniscience remain vivid in my mind. As a dedicated teacher with stints at Zengeza 5 and 8 Primary Schools, Mrs. Machuma was known for her blunt yet nurturing approach. She would candidly address shortcomings, and her passion for education was evident. Many students, including myself, benefited from her guidance, and I’m sure many share my sentiments about her calling to educate. Together with her husband, Mr. Shepherd Machuma, the family embodied the good teachings of John Wesley. Their union, bound by vows of love and commitment, was a testament to the power of marriage. Even in separation, their love remains unwaver...

United Methodist Church: A Path of Continuous Improvement

   Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga  As a product of the United Methodist Church, I've come to realize the immense value of the administrative, business and leadership skills that the church imparts. Initially, I didn't appreciate these aspects, but after exploring other denominations, I returned to the United Methodist Church, recognizing its exceptional leadership development opportunities. The church's reporting system has had a profound impact on my self-development, and the process of worship, family ministering, and starting new churches has equipped me with replicable skills that I've applied to my daily life. Through the United Methodist Church, I've developed strong decision-making skills, strategic thinking, and effective communication. These skills have, in turn, fostered my commitment to transparency and social justice, which are now core values that I uphold in all my endeavors. I've come to expect accountability and fairness in any group or associa...

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...
